Wouldn’t each section be worth 20%? Saying so 5 goes into 100 20 times.
Answer:
<em>Numbers: 6 and -2</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Equations</u>
This question can be solved by inspection. It's just a matter of factoring 12 into two factors that sum 4. Both numbers must be of different signs and they are 6 and -2. Their sum is indeed 6-2=4 and their product is 6*(-2)=-12.
However, we'll solve it by the use of equations. Let's call x and y to the numbers. They must comply:
![x+y=4\qquad\qquad [1]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x%2By%3D4%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%5B1%5D)
![x.y=-12\qquad\qquad [2]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=x.y%3D-12%5Cqquad%5Cqquad%20%5B2%5D)
Solving [1] for y:

Substituting in [2]

Operating:

Rearranging:

Solving with the quadratic formula:

With a=1, b=-4, c=-12:



The solutions are:


This confirms the preliminary results.
Numbers: 6 and -2
280 square inches because area=bh
Answer:
c=7
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem says that 8 less than 4 times c is less than twenty, so we can first show 8 less than 20.
4c -( I did this because it said 4 times the number c)
Then, we show 8 less than that.
4c-8
It says it is twenty, and that means it equals twenty.
4c-8=20
Now we solve!
4c-8=20
+8 +8
*we add 8 to both sides*
4c=28
*we divide both sides by 4 since we want to isolate c*
c=28/4
c=7
I hope this helped!
